Blowpipe

The Blowpipe is a new weapon featured in Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. Edward acquires this weapon from the Assassins, and is used as a silent alternative to eliminating enemies from a distance.

There are two types of darts that Edward can use: the sleep dart and the berserk dart. The sleep darts can be used to temporarily put enemies to sleep. This can be an effective way to quietly disable snipers or distract nearby guards. The berserk darts can be used to send a target into a blind rage, causing them to attack any nearby enemy or Edward himself. After the effects of the berserk dart wear off, the affected enemy will collapse, if he has not been subdued yet. The blowpipe can also be used to hunt, disabling predators for a moment or instantly killing smaller animals.
